Arguing with low-intellect, ‘meme’-intellectuals is never fun. But capitalism doesn’t ‘create’ the ‘inherent’ social friction and inequalities between people. Because almost ‘nowhere’ in human affairs, do you find people evenly represented. Even before you had capitalism, you still had the arrangements of ‘commerce’. Which were every bit as greedy and atavistic as the worst excesses of capitalism you find. And even before you had concepts like ‘property’, you had concepts like ‘territory’. I don’t like being a ‘rung’ on the ladder as much as anyone else, but I don’t think it’s a completely fair criticism of ‘capitalism’.
I think what happens is that people don’t remember that we’re using “capitalism” as shorthand for “the current and all previous western economic systems”.
